INTRODUCTION ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello again Soccerfans, after finished my Fifa'99 & ISS Pro'98 FAQs, i now worked with one of the promising soccer game that called Libero Grande. I'm Indonesian Chinese, so i don't know how to read Japanese, but i tried my best to work out with Libero Grande. Unlike the other soccer game that you can control all of you players, Libero Grande only allow you to control one player that becoming a part of the team. Of course the player that you control is the key player (or the captain) of the team that you're handle. Even you only control one player you can control the team using some button. I really enjoy this game. It offered something that really new & inovative. I hope you guys enjoy this game too.
